Arriving at Paris Saint-Germain at the dawn of the 2020/2021 season, in the form of a loan with an option to buy which will be exercised later, bringing the total of the operation to 20 million euros, Danilo quickly made a place for himself in Paris. Not only on the pitch, but also in the hearts of the Parisian supporters, since the 32-year-old player is clearly one of the players most appreciated by the Parc des Princes public. Highly appreciated by his coaches as well, he is already part of the furniture in Paris, even being captain when Marquinhos is not there.
Among the oldest players in the squad, he has shown exceptional versatility and reliability, being good in any position he has been in. This has allowed him to, without being an indisputable starter, play very regularly, with 59 games played over the last two Ligue 1 seasons for example. Given the problems that PSG currently have in defense with several injuries such as those of Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez, everything indicated that he would have had a lot of playing time at the start of this season which is just around the corner. But according to our information, Luis Enrique is not counting on him.
A return home?
Moreover, the 32-year-old player is coveted. Last summer, at the very end of the transfer window, there was already talk of a strong interest from Fenerbahçe for his services, but it did not come to anything. According to our information, FC Porto, his former club, and several Turkish clubs want to sign him by the end of August. The defensive midfielder’s preference for the moment is the Portuguese club.
Still according to our information, the club is rather open to the player leaving during this summer market. The position of the Spanish coach is quite clear, since his Iberian neighbor is not in his plans for this new season as explained above. In addition, the arrival of Willian Pacho has strengthened the defensive sector, just as João Neves has come to bring numbers in the midfield. The Lusitanian international who will celebrate his 33rd birthday in September could therefore be tempted to end his cycle at Paris Saint-Germain and finish his career at home…
